In addition to being Veterans Day, today is also a lesser known holiday: Nigel Tufnel Day. Why? Because of the date: 11-11-11.<\/p>\n

In honor of this occasion, we thought that we would re-post my previous homage to the Great Nigel Tufnel.<\/p>\n

Mom says that I have a very loud purr motor.<\/p>\n

I replied, “My purr motor is very special because it goes up to eleven.\u00a0 See, most cats have purr motors that go up to ten, but\u00a0mine\u00a0goes up to\u00a0eleven.”<\/p>\n

Mom asked me, “Does that mean it’s louder?\u00a0 Is it any louder?”<\/p>\n

“Well,”\u00a0I replied, “it’s one louder.\u00a0 It’s not ten.”<\/p>\n

“See, most cats would be purring at ten. \u00a0You’re on ten, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on\u00a0ten, purring on someone’s lap, and where can you go from there?\u00a0 Where?”<\/p>\n

“I dunno.” Mom said.<\/p>\n

“Nowhere!\u00a0\u00a0Exactly!\u00a0 See, if\u00a0I need to get my purr motor to make that extra push over the cliff, I can put my purr motor up to eleven.”<\/p>\n

Mom asked me, “Why don’t you just make ten on your purr motor louder, and make ten be the top number on the purr motor, and make that a little louder?”<\/p>\n

She\u00a0clearly doesn’t get it.<\/p>\n

“My purr motor goes to\u00a0eleven.”<\/p>\n

Purrs!!!

pee. ess. Mom says that if you don’t get this reference, you never saw one of the Funniest Movies Ever. Immediately go watch This Is Spinal Tap, or at least this scene. Then come back and read the post again.<\/p>\n
